My porch gets a bit of morning filtered sunshine, but it is in shade the rest of the day.
Impatiens grow beautifully there, but they make such a mess I wanted to try something different this year. There weren't a lot of options, but I was delighted to find something new in my nursey: Bacopa ('Snowstorm' in a pink variety). It looked gorgeous for a few weeks, but then it dwindled down to mostly just foliage. Apparently it wants more sun than it claims.
Each spring I put up three hanging baskets, so something that trails would be nice (e.g., probably not Coleus).
Can you suggest something else?
If you have pictures of your lovely shade containers, I'd love to see them.
